We started with the calamari, and it immediately set the tone—perfectly tender, lightly fried, beautifully seasoned, and paired with a sauce that tasted fresh and house-made, not an afterthought. Absolutely outstanding.

The burrata was unreal—creamy, rich, and served with a vibrant tomato sauce that balanced it perfectly. Simple, classic, and executed flawlessly.

For entrées, the braised short ribs over mashed potatoes were melt-in-your-mouth tender, deeply flavorful, and comforting in the best way. This is the kind of dish that reminds you why Italian cooking is so special. The chicken dish (finished in a buttery, lemon-forward sauce) was equally impressive—juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor.

Even the arugula salad stood out—fresh greens, great texture, and a dressing that tied everything together without overpowering the dish.

Beyond the food, the experience is what truly sets Trattoria Valona apart. You can feel that it’s family-owned—the care, consistency, and pride show up on every plate. Nothing feels rushed, nothing feels generic, and everything feels intentional.

Trattoria Valona isn’t just good—they are sooo good. This is the kind of restaurant you go out of your way for, confidently recommend, and keep coming back to because you know it will never disappoint.

Very good BYOB restaurant. The quality and consistency are commensurate with the price. 4 of our 5 visits over the past two years have been very good. I was in between 4 and 5 stars but anybody can have an off night, 5 stars for flavor is truly representative of their quality. Service staff is always polite and punctual. Owner is always there working hard too (restaurants with hands on owners usually perform better, in my experience) and also always a gracious host.

My wife took me here for my birthday as we love trying new restaurants and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant was very clean and had that “family owned authentic Italian” vibe to it which makes you feel very welcomed! The staff was super friendly, and all the food was amazing! We shared a crab stuffed mushroom as an appetizer. I had a lobster tail, scallop and shrimp pasta over a white wine garlic sauce and my wife had a scallop risotto. For dessert I had the pistachio cake (was super light and refreshing) and she had the caramel cake (was delicious & decadent). Super glad we came and can’t wait to return!

Absolutely blown away by this place! Trattoria Valona is a small, cozy gem tucked away in Hatboro, and it deserves way more attention. The food was outstanding — every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. We started with the calamari and octopus appetizers — both were perfect. For our main courses, the seafood risotto and filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus were melt-in-your-mouth amazing.

The wine selection was great too — we had a bottle of Villa Antinori that paired perfectly with everything. Dessert was delicious, especially the Italian layered cups that rounded out the meal.

On top of the incredible food, the service was excellent — attentive, friendly, and made the whole evening feel special.

If you’re in the area and haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend Trattoria Valona — a true local treasure!

This was our first time going to this highly recommended place on google reviews. We ordered fried calamari and it was pretty good. Our server was thorough in her knowledge of the menu which was great!
But our main entrees were a total disappointment. My Vodka penne with grilled chicken tasted like tomato sauce with overcooked penne and chicken had a fresh taste to it.
My husband wasn’t pleased with his jumbo Shrimp and crab pasta as well, couldn’t find any bits of crab in the pasta.
Overall paid $100 for our 2 entree and an appetizer.

Trattoria Valona truly sets the standard for what a family-owned restaurant should be. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the pride, tradition, and care that go into every detail. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the service is attentive without being intrusive, and the food is nothing short of exceptional.

Every dish tastes like it’s been prepared with intention and love—fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and recipes that clearly honor authentic Italian roots. You can tell this is a place where quality matters and where the owners are personally invested in delivering an outstanding experience to every guest.

If you’re looking for incredible food, genuine hospitality, and a restaurant that consistently delivers on all fronts, Trattoria Valona does not disappoint. This is the kind of place you return to again and again—and confidently recommend to everyone you know.

So many places can get five stars in one aspect or the other. This beautiful restaurant soundly earns five stars in every category. I had three Fiocchi di pere. I was nervous because I’d never had anything like it before. Once I tried it it was like time slowed, as I savored the dish. It was my daughter’s 10th birthday. She tried arancini for the first time, and absolutely loved it. I only feel bad for anytime she has it anywhere else. Jade and every server, with other diners, sang happy birthday for my little girl. This place is a home meal on a night out. So comforting. So joyful. Most importantly, so delicious.

Absolutely fantastic experience!
The food was beyond delicious—every dish was bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, it instantly made us feel right at home. The space itself is beautifully done—stylish yet comfortable, with just the right vibe for a relaxing meal.
It’s the kind of place you find yourself wanting to come back to again and again. Highly recommended!

Expensive for a BYOB. Pay cash for a discount. Very good food and service. Nice new dining room. Semi open kitchen. The kitchen and servers are fast! We went from appetizers to dessert and out the door in an hour. Large portion sizes. This is actually a slight criticism, because we would prefer smaller portions that would allow us to have a separate pasta course.

We had grilled salmon with citrus salsa and parmesan polenta, and a grouper with shrimp special, served over risotto. Both were good, though my partner thought the salmon was a bit dry. I would happily order the grouper special again; the fish tased fresh and was nicely flaky. We also had the lobster gnocchi, which has received some rave reviews here, but I thought was just okay.

For appetizers we had a Eggplant Rollatini special, and grilled octopus. Both of these dishes were fantastic. The red sauce served with the eggplant was simple and slightly sweet. I was reaching for the bread to mop up every last bit. The octopus was tender, and presentation was very nice. Dessert was some kind of chocolate brownie cake (made here!), and presented nicely. Bread and oil flavored with dry herbs are brought out to each table. The oil was not great; bread was average.

Overall, this is one of the better quality Italian restaurants in the area. Worth another visit.

** STAFF WAS AMAZING!**

We had a GREAT time for an early vday dinner. It was our first time here and we began with the arancini and the sausage/broccoli rabe special. The red sauce that came with the arancini was phenomenal.

For entrees, we had shrimp scampi and the lobster gnocchi (sub spinach/personal preference). It was the perfect portion and delicious. Very reasonably priced and the staff was so nice/welcoming! We will definitely be back!
